Seto Satsuma Tree 2–3 Ft Tall

If you’re looking for a satsuma that brings something a little different to the table — Seto Satsuma is it.

This variety stands out for its sweet flavor with a noticeable tang, compact growth, and strong cold tolerance. It’s one of the newer satsuma selections gaining traction with growers who want something beyond the standard Owari-type profile.

These are grafted, established trees — not seedlings — so you’re getting a plant already positioned for consistent growth and fruiting.
